[CINC] Friday, February 1st

[Michele Wassell]

At the last minute, I ended up being able to do the afternoon trip too. :)

Today was a gorgeous day out in the channel with IPCO on the Vanguard. As
usual, Jason, Paul, Thomas did an awesome job.

Mostly local people on the morning trip with just a few from the east
coast. Afternoon, just the opposite.

AM:

2 Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins
1 Northbound very shy under the radar Gray Whale
2 Humpback Whales
Several hundred Common Dolphins
2 juvenile Gray Whales hanging out at east end figuring out which way to
go.

PM:

1 very shy very young Gray Whale - got used to us after about 15 minutes
and became a little less shy
Small handful of Coastal, but maybe Off-shore Bottlenose Dolphins. They
were not in an area we typically see either one. Their size seem to be more
like a Coastal BN, but not 100% sure.

Regards,
Michele Wassell
